You will read about the many and varied misuses of funds, assets , real estate and adopted privileged that run rampant through the Holy See and how many noble men and clergy are committed to risk their reputations to help Francis in this task. But there as many or more who vigorously resist any changes. You will find out why Benedict retired and the years of discussion, reports on problems and inaction well before Francis.
